Arrest in Michigan City Double Homicide

An arrest has been made in connection with last week’s double homicide in Michigan City.

 

Armann Johnson, 26, is currently being held in the La Porte County Jail on

$100,000 bond.

 

He’s charged with murder in connection with the shooting deaths at Normandy Village Apartments early Thursday.

 

35 year old Travis Pennington and 22 year old Kiara Hootman were inside a vehicle in the parking lot of Normandy Village when shot. La Porte County Coroner Lynn Swanson said Pennington was shot three times in the head and neck.

 

She said Hootman suffered four gunshot wounds to the left arm and back.

 

More details are expected to be released by Michigan City Police later today.

 

In 2019, court records show Johnson was found not guilty of robbery but was convicted of battery in the same case and sentenced to three years in prison.
